Tackle Football

*Coach Westbrook and Coach Esquivel return once again to head our Midget team this year!

MISSION:

Our mission is to promote sportsmanship, teamwork and good character on the field and more importantly in the classroom. We believe that participating in our football program will help instill children with life-long values of teamwork, dedication and superior work ethic which will serve as a solid foundation for their journey. We are committed to teaching the fundamentals of tackle football in a safe and enjoyable environment which allows our children to flourish and learn. Coaches will encourage players to try out for various positions and help them identify where they best fit for the teams success.

The 2019 season is our 9th year for the Upland Hurricanes tackle football program which has participants of ages 7-14. Our opponents are determined by the So Cal Jr. All-American Conference, the largest football conference in California. Our tackle program has been very successful each year always finishing with a strong winning season including an undefeated season two years ago.

COST TO PARTICIPATE:

The cost to register is $220 which includes a $40 snack bar fee. All tackle football participants have a single $150 fundraiser; we WILL NOT ask you more additional fundraising throughout the season like most other leagues.. These fees will cover all league, field, equipment and insurance expenses, picture package, trophy and end of year chapter banquet (food and ride wristbands). In addition, our players keep their high quality custom tackle jersey!

Best chapter in town!

We joined the Hurricanes last year after a few season with another football program and what a difference! Our experience was great! We didn’t have to fundraise all season, played a full season of 9 games plus playoffs and our banquet was included! We are lifelong Hurricanes!
